    People had been asking about Overboard on Thundercrackers body so here’s a quick shot. The blues match up incredibly close, they might actually be the exact same shade.

    That looks terrific!

    Ah geez... getting one of these things was gonna be hard enough, now I'm wanting two....

    For the record, I'm in California, but when I checked my two local TRU's a couple days ago, these were nowhere to be found. So even if they're showing up in CA, they're certainly not plentiful.

    Real late to this party but that looks really cool! it looks kinda what i think screamer would look like if he survived to get redesigned with the rest of the cast.

    I've only been seeing ones on Ebay that come from California. Just wondering it they will make it to the other stores before closure.

    Man, I’m really hoping this guy manages to find a full release somehow, especially if its online. I really want to find him and the TRUs here are really bad.

    Here is my final update.

    A few weeks ago I called & the woman said they had 1100 in the warehouse.
    Last Thursday they opened at 9:30.
    Today I went up there at 9:30 & the sign said they open at 10.:mad: 

    So I killed a half hour, went back & when they let us in all the employees were standing around customer service & one of the women announced that liquidation hasn't started yet, everything is still full price & they are waiting for the judge. He hasn't decided on the blah blah blah.

    So I went to the Transformers section & it looked like it had already been liquidated. Everything was wiped out except for a few scraps. Only thing of interest to me were 2 Primus Cybertrons but I already have one so whatever.

    I went to customer service & asked the women to look up TC on the puter. The truck today hardly had any boys toys. They said they don't have it & there are 0 on order so they won't be getting it at all.

    So I never have to waste gas driving over 30 minutes up to that pathetic excuse for a store ever again. Throughout the years that store has been totally useless except for exclusives. I never find anything there & walk out empty handed 99% of the time. So I say to hell with Toys R Us! I'm probably one of the very few that won't miss that store at all. They have always sucked, even back in the late 80's/early 90's. I miss KB, Child World & Bradlees.

    So now I'll wait to see where these things show up. TJ Maxx? Ross? Ollies?

    Toys R Us is gone. K-Mart closed last year. Walmart & Target never fucking restock Transformers. Hasbrotoyshop is the biggest joke on the internet. I don't understand why that site is even still active. So yeah, looks like all I have left is ebay. Bad times all around. Meanwhile the stores in Canada & other countries are fully stocked like the 80's.:(  Yay! America!

    Sorry for the late reply but no, that's not at all what I'm talking about nor are his bot-mode knees the intakes. The intakes are on the sides of the nose, just below the canopy. The intake-looking things....

    I feel ya mate. And to my surprise KMart is alive here in Texas still. There is one up the road in Austin still kicking, and a friend's wife is working one in Arkansas, but pretty sure they are closing. Here's to hoping he's an easy find at the discount chains, because I got the same answer from the two San Antonio, Texas Toysrus stores.
